Middle Atlantic EFB45CTGYTR Evolution Series Flush Floor Box Cover Insert

Overview

The Middle Atlantic EFB45CTGYTR is a flush-style floor box cover insert designed for the EFB45 Evolution Series raised floor box system. At 9.94 inches wide and 1.19 inches in profile height, it sits nearly flush with finished raised flooring — no trip hazard, no exposed lip that catches equipment carts or furniture legs. The gray finish blends into standard commercial raised-floor tile environments without drawing attention, which matters in conference rooms, trading floors, and operations centers where the infrastructure should disappear into the background.

This cover insert is built around a tamper-resistant receptacle configuration, limiting unauthorized access to the outlets — a practical requirement in shared-access areas like open-plan offices, training rooms, or any space where physical security of power and data connections is a consideration alongside your electronic access controls.

Key Features

• Flush Cover Style (1.19 in. profile): The near-zero rise above the floor surface means carts, chairs, and foot traffic pass over it without snagging. In active environments — data centers with rolling equipment, broadcast studios, boardrooms — a proud cover edge is a liability. At 1.19 inches, the EFB45CTGYTR avoids that problem.
• 9.94-Inch Width: Sized to fit the EFB45 Evolution Series raised floor box footprint. Confirm your rough-in box matches before ordering — this cover is not a universal fit, and an incorrect width will leave gaps or prevent the cover from seating properly.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacle Type: Outlets require a deliberate two-point insertion rather than a straight plug-in, deterring unauthorized or accidental use. Relevant wherever physical port security is part of your overall security posture — alongside access control systems and surveillance coverage.
• Gray Color Finish: Matches standard commercial raised-floor tile tones. If your floor tile is a significantly different shade, Middle Atlantic offers the EFB45 cover family in other finishes — verify the color match on-site before committing to a full run of covers across a large installation.
• TAA Non-Compliant: The EFB45CTGYTR is explicitly NOT TAA compliant. If your project is a federal government contract or requires TAA-compliant components throughout, this model does not qualify. Identify a TAA-compliant alternative before spec'ing this into a government facility build-out.

Integration and Compatibility

The EFB45CTGYTR is part of Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic Evolution Series floor box product family, designed to work with the EFB45 raised floor box chassis. It is not a standalone product — the cover insert requires the matching EFB45 floor box body for proper installation. Coordinate with your raised-floor infrastructure supplier to confirm box compatibility before procurement.

For broader infrastructure planning in technology rooms and operations centers, this cover pairs naturally with power distribution and protection solutions. If your deployment also involves structured cabling or AV integration in raised-floor environments, review the full Middle Atlantic product line for complementary rack, power, and enclosure components.

Installers working in raised-floor environments should also reference your network infrastructure planning resources to ensure floor box placement aligns with cable routing paths and avoids conflicts with cooling airflow beneath the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the EFB45CTGYTR TAA compliant?

A: No. The EFB45CTGYTR is explicitly not TAA compliant. If your project requires TAA-compliant components — federal contracts, government facilities — this model does not meet that requirement. Identify a TAA-compliant alternative before finalizing your specification.

Q: What floor box chassis does the EFB45CTGYTR fit?

A: The EFB45CTGYTR is designed for the Middle Atlantic EFB45 Evolution Series raised floor box. It is not a universal cover — the 9.94-inch width and mounting configuration are specific to that chassis. Confirm your existing or planned floor box model before ordering.

Q: What does the tamper-resistant receptacle on the EFB45CTGYTR mean in practice?

A: Tamper-resistant receptacles require simultaneous pressure on both contact slots to accept a plug, preventing casual or unauthorized insertion of objects or unauthorized devices. This is a physical security feature relevant in shared or public-access spaces.

Q: Will the gray finish match my raised floor tiles?

A: The EFB45CTGYTR ships in gray, which aligns with common commercial raised-floor tile colors. Verify the specific shade matches your tile on-site. Middle Atlantic's EFB45 cover family may include other finish options if gray is not a match for your environment.

Q: How low-profile is the EFB45CTGYTR when installed?

A: The flush cover style sits at 1.19 inches (3 cm) above the floor surface. This minimal profile reduces trip hazards and allows equipment carts and furniture to pass over without obstruction — appropriate for active commercial environments.

Ted Perry

The EFB45CTGYTR is a detail product — the kind that gets overlooked in a raised-floor infrastructure spec until an installer is standing on the floor asking why the cover doesn't fit or why the finish is wrong. The 9.94-inch width is the critical dimension here: it is chassis-specific to the EFB45 Evolution Series, not a drop-in for other Middle Atlantic floor box families. Get that confirmed before you issue a purchase order.

Technical Highlights:

• Flush Profile (1.19 in.): At 3 cm above finished floor, this cover won't catch a server cart wheel or a chair leg — meaningful in dense ops center floor plans where raised-floor covers take regular traffic.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacle: Requires deliberate two-point insertion — reduces accidental or unauthorized use of floor-mounted power without requiring a lockable cover or additional hardware.
• TAA Non-Compliance (confirmed): Explicitly flagged in the spec — not an omission. Any government or federal project scope must address this before the EFB45CTGYTR is written into the bill of materials.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the EFB45 chassis is already installed or on order before procuring this cover — the insert has no standalone function and the width is not adjustable.
• Gray finish works in most commercial raised-floor environments, but do a physical match check on-site before ordering multiples across a large floor plate. A color mismatch across dozens of covers in a finished space is an avoidable punch-list item.

Best fit for commercial technology rooms, trading floors, and operations centers running Middle Atlantic EFB45 raised-floor infrastructure where a low-profile, tamper-resistant finish cover is required and TAA compliance is not a project constraint.
